Barry, thanks a lot for the information. I'll check the article as soon as possible. Back to my latest post on the subject, I realized I missed an important detail in the last point (4). Quoting myself: for NSA measurements and site validation you can limit the job to horizontal polarization

Hi Paolo, I am interested in this topic, but don't have much available time to participate the discussion. You mentioned the far-field in item 3 of your message below. You might be interested in an article The Fer-Field: How Far is Far Enough?

Robert, there are a couple of points that came up in your posts that I would like to more fully understand. 1. ...the site under test is verified against the performance of the site on which the antenna factors are calibrated. I honestly don't get this point. The applicable standards (ANSI

A well designed antenna will be balanced, i.e., it will be geometry independent. Looking at the factors for our 3110b, they look very nearly the same for horizontal and vertical polarization as well as at 3 meters and 10 meters. This suggests we should save the money for this model antenna and

Hi Pierre, did anyone reply to your post ? I would be a bit surprised in that case, given the high and broad level of EMC experience among us. I am pretty much interested in how your NSA and antenna calibration measurements are going and what results are you getting. This subject is widely
